El Topo is a New Western restaurant grown from a food truck founded in November of 2015. Our cuisine features sophisticated tacos on hand-pressed tortillas, delicate pastries baked from scratch, and quality-sourced meats and produce draped in old-fashioned cowboy campfire cookery.

Nestled in the neighborhood of West University and surrounding Houston for all-day, brunch and light luncheon fare, as well as a bustling, romantic dinner service featuring a consciously-sourced, eccentric wine list. Our dining room has been carefully designed by Chef-Owner Tony Luhrman to be a celebration of both beauty and comfort, with an eclectic, West Texas aesthetic.
